@joshtpm I am unsure of 2 things: 1) Extent of Russian involvement in hacking, fake news, etc. 2) Total effect of these efforts on voting.

The effects of the NotPetya attack in 2017 on commercial maritime traffic cost more than all piracy worldwide combined. Guessing this one is going to be pretty pricey too.... Time for a more comprehensive approach to maritime security. #seapower

@redunley Its 93% ask @brucebrookings - his book, 'To rule the waves' illuminates the oceans beyond the cliche.

As the situation in the Red Sea intensified, some thoughts on the wider pattern of geopolitical conflict spilling into the seas. Globalization is in the crossfire. #RedSea
